“Sam was an incredible puppy sitter. This is our first puppy so I am overly cautious with her. Within the first thirty minutes of us leaving, sam sent us a plethora of photos and updates, leaving my heart at ease. She updated us very frequently with updates and cutesy photos of our girl. She let us know her overall report when we came home, and watched her to make sure she has no separation anxiety with us. It was such a relief to have her, and I will absolutely be using sam again.”
“Mary was amazing she knew exactly what to do for the weekend while I was away and was able to spend time with my dog Jax and Cat Scout. I will definitely use Mary again in the future”
About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart and I genuinely love caring for them and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I spent over 12 years riding horses competitively and caring for my sweet horse, Blue, which taught me so much about patience, responsibility, and building a real bond with animals. These days, I’m lucky to share my home with two playful yorkies, Tucker and Toby, who always keep life fun and full of cuddles. I’ve also cared for two adorable hamsters in the past, so I know how important the little things are, whether it’s a cozy cage setup or just extra attention. I’m super detail-oriented and always ensure every routine, meal, and belly rub is right. Whether your pet is young and energetic or a senior in need of extra love, I’m here to care for them like family. I am a rising Sophomore at Bryant University but besides one morning summer class, I am free all summer during the days! I am a morning person, but I am happy to stay late to accommodate different fur-babies' schedules. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I'm happy to follow each pet’s individual routine, from feeding and walks to playtime and cuddles, so they feel right at home, no matter where they are. I live in an apartment in Deer Valley in Ellington, so I am happy to travel anywhere to walk or care for your animals in-home. If they get along with small dogs, I am also happy to do a doggy play date with my two friendly yorkies!
“I was terrified to use a service. I have two rescue dogs who have had a tough life and don’t always listen PLUS three sphinx cats who are high energy, require a lot of attention, and are my entire life. Brooke and Mike came over for our initial meet and greet and ended up spending nearly two hours getting to know me and my animals. They were patient, empathetic, and answered all of my questions MORE than once. When it was time for my trip, Brooke was super communicative- she checked in to make sure my work trip was going well, she sent regular updates and pictures, and she was just generally so available and nice and supportive. I never in a million years would’ve thought “everything is gonna be fine”. It was more than fine. Brooke stayed over two nights while I was traveling for work and the house is EXACTLY in the same state I left it. I mean she even did her own dishes. My own kid doesn’t even do that when she house sits. I know this is long and rambly but honestly I was terrified going into this. “I’m gonna let a stranger stay over at my house??” I can’t stress enough how relieved and grateful I am to Brooke (and Mike). My animals acted like I hadn’t even been gone (and that’s saying a lot considering how clingy they are and how they typically act like I died and suddenly appeared back in their lives by some witchcraft if I’m gone for an afternoon). Brooke cared for my pets and my house like it was her own. I can’t wait to explore going on a real life vacation now that I’m not terrified of taking this step anymore. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU. For anyone still doubting or questioning things (or for anyone new to the app in general), I’m more than happy to be a reference! Brooke and Mike - welcome to our weird furry (and furies) family!!!”
“Samantha had a wonderful stay with our pup! I appreciate her friendliness, professionalism, neatness, attention to detail, and love for animals! She sent photos of our pup each day with reassuring and positive updates. She was easy to reach and responded quickly to texts. She left a lovely thank you note, which was such a nice unexpected touch! Our home was in perfect order when we returned. My pup was a happy boy when we returned! I’ve just booked another week with her!”
“Haley was great with my almost 100 pound boy! She cleaned up and left my house better than how I left it for her. She was communicative and took my needs seriously!”
About: I have experience taking care of my bestfriend (my pitbull) and the 7 cats in my home. I love animals more than humans and will treat your fur babies like my own. I have pet sat for friends and family many times and can assure your four legged friends will be safe with me. Whether you want them to get a little sunshine, go on an adventure, or just be safe in your home while you are away. I’ll be there for all your pets needs! I take care of my pets daily, my dog gets walked at least twice a day along with her time in the yard. I feed my cats everyday and keep everyone’s water bowls clean. I’m also very experienced with litter boxes (cat owners will understand)! I’m a huge animal lover who takes care of her pets better than most humans take care of their kids! I pet sit often and always treat all animals like they are my own
“Elena stayed with our pup, Dolly, for 2 nights while we were away. Wow! What a great match for our girl! We felt comfortable after the meet and greet because of her calm and loving approach. The photos and videos were a welcome update on their daily activities. She handled our leash reactive pup with no problem on many walks. We do not hesitate to recommend Elena and will be contacting her again to care for our dog. 🐶”
“Amber was wonderful with our dog Hunter. Hunter warmed up to her in no time and they spent a nice three days together! We would highly recommend her.”
About: I have always been surrounded by pets; enjoy giving plenty of attention; and have cared for their well-being (bathing, administering medications, monitoring recuperations after illness/surgery). I work full-time (leave home at 7:30 a.m. and I am home by 4:30 p.m.) and have my evenings and weekends free. I am available for check-ins, walks, and stays. Your companion would be cared for by keeping to his/her routine/schedule, keeping them safe, following any additional instructions, and giving them lots of attention and playtime.
“Annina was amazing! She took such great care of Emma—attentive, responsible, and clearly a true animal lover. We got regular updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Emma came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. Highly recommend Annina to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Shea is a very nice respectful and polite girl. Her communication is always timely. She was punctual with her arrival time, allowing us to leave a few minutes earlier than planned for our trip. She wasn’t afraid to send a text later in the evening when our dog was having trouble settling down. She sent a couple updates and photos during her stay with our dog and everything went well. We will definitely keep her in the rotation for when we need care for our dog!”
“Kay is an excellent dog sitter. Communication is always clear and very accommodating with my changing needs and schedule. Kay was great with my dog, I love that she gets a lot of attention and exercise when Kay watches her. I highly recommend Kay!”
About: I have always loved animals and have been a devoted pet owner for 40+ years to animals great and small. From mice, gerbils, turtles, to cats of various sizes, multiple breeds of dogs, bunnies and chickens too. Many of our cats and dogs have lived well into their senior years so I am well versed in giving medications, specialized food, frequent potty breaks, etc... I currently have a 115 lb. German Shepherd that loves to go for leashed trail walks, so I am certainly comfortable with large breeds. I have had pets with timid personalities, and feisty, and have loved them all. I am retired so can accommodate most schedules. Whether it be walking your pup, giving cuddles to your cat or feeding your fish I am reliable and dependable. My services offered at this point will be pet sitting at the client's home, day time walks with a pup, stopping in for a play date....whatever keeps our furry friends happy.
“Kaitlynn was amazing! My dogs have special needs and their care instructions are very specific. She kept their routine and did perfect! She gave my dogs much love and attention. She is the only sitter I would trust with my dogs. After I got back home, I asked one of my dogs (she uses button communication) if Kaitlynn was nice and she said yes! 🐾”
“Great communication while I'm away, both cat and dog are happy and healthy when I return!”
“Palma did an amazing job caring for our two Huskies while we were away . She went above and beyond to make sure their needs were met and that they received plenty of love and attention in our absence . Palma communicated with us on a daily basis and provided updates . We would highly recommend Palma and look forward to using her again in the near future .”
“Adara did a fabulous job caring for our fur baby, Toby, in our home when we went away for the weekend! Toby is a bit (ok, VERY) quirky, and he doesn't do well with changes to his routine. Adara went above and beyond when caring for him. We felt very comfortable with her in our home, as well. Toby gives Adara a 10/10 for pet sitting, and so do we!”
“I can not say enough good things about Brendon. We had a request to bring our dog to our wedding which Brendon was gracious enough to do. He made sure to do two visits beforehand to ensure everything went smoothly. He was timely, responsive, and sent updates about our dog. Our dog was well taken care of and in good hands. I would defiantly use him again for house sitting.”
About: From puppies, to the rainbow bridge… i have been there for all dogs, in all aspects of their lives. They really are “mans” best friends! I am currently a stay home mommy to my 3 month old boy so we are available anytime. I schedule around his feedings and naps. My two dogs are free to range the yard whenever they want I can only house female dogs as my shepherd unfortunately doesn’t like any boy dogs ): When caring for your pets at your home, i will follow specific directions and make sure to love them as if they are my own (its hard not too, there isnt a dog i couldnt love)

“I wholeheartedly recommend my best friend Lindsay as a pet caregiver. She is one of the most responsible, attentive, and genuinely loving people I know - especially when it comes to animals. Whether it’s making sure pets are well-fed, exercised, or simply showered with affection, Lindsay always goes above and beyond. She has a natural connection with animals and treats every pet as if it were her own. If you’re looking for someone you can truly trust to care for your furry family member, Lindsay is that person.”
